Well, it's the middle of July and we've been fighting a nasty stomach bug in our house. The way it typically happens in our family is this:
Someone will always get sick:
- When we are leaving for vacation or on vacation
- Family is coming to town for a visit
And in true form, my daughter was sick the whole week we were on vacation this year.
And now, my brother and his family are in town. We usually only see them once a year and we've been passing around this stomach bug.
Now who wants to be around that??
And with school starting back in a few weeks, it seemed like the perfect time to share one of my favorite germ fighting cleaners. It smells amazing and is just as effective as those other chemical filled wipes… I won't mention any names.

What a good recipe for all purpose germ cleaner. As a mother of two little boys I try to keep my house very clean. Sometimes I add vodka in my all purpose cleaner, it is a strong disinfectant. Don't worry about the smell, essential oils will fade it away. Thanks for the good tip! Greets!
